From Clinic to Genome — Collaborative Discovery of a Novel Castellaniella Species in a Fatal Canine Infection
We’re excited to share an extraordinary case-based webinar that highlights the power of collaboration between clinical medicine and molecular diagnostics.
Presented by Dr. Lina Crespo Bilahalva and Dr. Mark Yacoub, Microbiome Scientist I at MiDOG, this session unpacks the full diagnostic journey behind the discovery of a previously uncharacterized Castellaniella species—implicated in a fatal canine respiratory infection.
A First-of-Its-Kind Case Study
This webinar follows a high-stakes clinical case from the exam room to the genome, revealing how advanced sequencing tools and cross-disciplinary collaboration enabled the identification of a novel pathogen that standard diagnostics missed.
Through MiDOG’s All-in-One NGS Test and Whole Genome Sequencing, a hidden bacterial species was detected, characterized, and genomically profiled—reshaping our understanding of emerging infections in veterinary medicine.
What You’ll Learn:
-
The clinical presentation and diagnostic barriers encountered during the case
-
How MiDOG’s NGS-based diagnostics uncovered a novel Castellaniella species
-
Genomic insights into the pathogen’s virulence factors and clinical implications
-
The essential role of clinician-scientist collaboration in complex infectious disease cases
-
Practical applications of NGS in resolving unexplained or polymicrobial infections
Who Should Attend:
This session is ideal for:
-
Veterinarians and veterinary specialists
-
Clinical microbiologists and pathologists
-
Infectious disease researchers
-
Diagnostic lab professionals
-
Anyone invested in the future of precision veterinary diagnostics
Why It Matters
This case exemplifies what’s possible when molecular tools are applied in real-world clinical settings. By bridging the gap between bench and bedside, MiDOG continues to lead the way in uncovering the “microbial dark matter” behind unresolved infections, improving outcomes for patients and practitioners alike.
